A family from Cork were the victims of an unprovoked attack by a group of young drunken Dubliners while holidaying in the Costa del Sol last weekend.

The family believe they were attacked because one of them was wearing a Cork jersey. The attack took place after the All-Ireland football final on Sunday evening.

Speaking from the family home in Farranree yesterday, Caroline O'Connor said it was a disgrace that Irish people would attack other Irish people abroad.

"I think they were just using the Cork jersey as an excuse and were looking for a fight," she told the Irish Examiner.

Ms O'Connor said her family members were scratched, punched and dragged on to the ground and were then kicked about the head by a gang of up to 10 men and women.

They did not require hospital treatment, but were badly shaken by the episode.

that is absolutely horrible :eek:

to attack someone for wearing a jersey, while on holiday :mad:

sickening to think of

Where does it mention that they were attacked because they were from Cork, other than the family feeling sorry for themselves cause they lost?

to be fair


cork people in costa del sol? If they werent carried off to hospital from the beating the sunburn might have killed them

Danbo!

Speaking from the family home yesterday, the family issued a further statement:

"Although our family were very shaken by the attack, the incident has at least legitimized the gargantuan sense of self-importance, grievance and obsession with our betters in the capital that, as Cork people, is ours by birthright".

The Jackeens gave abuse to the family because one was wearing a cork jersey and then decided to attack them.

The only good thing that ever came out of Dublin is the road that takes you away from it.

listen here chump.

dublin is the the heart and soul of this country, its the fulcrum of everything and its what makes the rest of this ****hole seem ok. it is an enigma and dubliners are forced to keep the rest of this country running all the while the village people in their bogs complain about us.

you should be proud to say you live in the same country as this city.

By all accounts a horrible expierence for the family in question but coming out with that staement ( below) , which may /may not be tounge in cheek ( hard to fathom with some cork people ) it doesn't actually gain them any kudos

OP, your attempt to start a Dublin-bashing thread is... subtle. :pac:

Maybe they didn't attack the person because of the Cork jersey either - maybe they just attacked them because they would have attacked anyone in the wrong place at the wrong time. It only says they "believe" it was the jersey...

Bogs? The main bogs in Ireland are in midlands and that's only a small part of Ireland
Besides you'll find a lot of non-Dubs moved to Dublin to take your jobs!
While ye were hanging around your tenements and flats! :P

Are these the same Dubs who come onto boards and say they were going into "town" when they don't even live in a town or ever mention which city?

Oi! Cheeky! :pac:









You left out jealousy and inferiority...

kayashi

If Dublin is a toilet, what does that make the rest of the country?

Note Dublin is basically the Pale. Everyone outside the pale I refuse to associate with.

To use the cliche "At the end of the day" everyone who lives outside Dublin wishes they where born in Dublin which is as we all know the best place on this small island of ours.
Its ok, I understand the country folk' anger, I would also be frustrated if I had to buy my weekly shopping, Christmas presents, Birthday presents etc... from the local petrol station.

However I do appreciate the country folk supplying me with butter for my toast in the morning, the milk in my corn flakes and the steak on my plate for dinner.

Really if you think about it all country people are really there for is to make the food for us Dublin people so we don't go hungry

The real reason why they were attacked is because they were holidaying in the costa del sol, and lots of scumbags go there. These scumbags just happened to be Dublin scumbags.

My bet is the family were really loud and wouldn't stop talking.
As if the accent isn't bad enough to hear at home, the poor Dubs went al the way to Spain to get away from it.
I'd of been pissed off too!

Costa Del Sol.

lol

Pah, I only opened this cos i thought Ronnie Drew had come back for a
piss-up that got out of hand:mad:

scumbags.....and the people that attacked them aren't much better....

Tipsy Mac

Did Ms O'Connor report it to the Police in Spain, did she report it to the Gardai in Ireland or did she just want to be attention seeking and have a story written about her troubles, did she dream the whole thing after drowning her sorrows in one too many sangrias...

Ms O'Connor said her family members were scratched, punched and dragged on to the ground and were then kicked about the head by a gang of up to 10 men and women.

They did not require hospital treatment, but were badly shaken by the episode.

Anyone I have ever heard of getting kicked in the head by a gang of up to 10 men and women normally required a touch of medical attention.

I'm a Corkonian but potentially a Dub: my folks had planned on settling in Dublin but then my dad got offered a better job in Cork. I like both places a lot - the rivalry (when serious as opposed to tongue-in-cheek) is silly.

Don't be saying things like that. I'm from a neighbouring (victorious!) county to Cork (won't say which), but they are our common enemy. When you think of Dubliners, you think of "deh gargle", "spare uz zome change for heroin a hostel", "stardy, bud?" and wife-beating. Now tell me you don't think of some of those things.:pac:

I think it was the hand of Jesus himself that made your parents stay in Cork.

lived there for 5 years it's a sh1thole.....ok for early 20's after that it's a pain in the neck,too expensive,crap transport and traffic problems....too many other nice cities all over the world to live in,and in ireland too,
sad what those animals did..

*adele*

I've lived here(Dublin) for 18 years and I think its a great city. Granted, everywhere has its ****e points. I find it extremely annoying when people from other parts of Ireland take it upon themselves to rant about Dublin. You don't like Dublin, fair enough, leave and don't come back. Can't say we'd miss you tbh.

Ah not this ****e again...
Its sad that people get attacked where ever their from...
But I'm so sick of this Cork is better than Dublin or Dublin is better than Cork ****e, both places have their good point and bad points who cares.

Shakes head amd leaves/:rolleyes:

Costa Del Sol's a long stretch. Whereabouts was it? How do they know the attackers were from Dublin? Were they wearing Dublin jerseys? Did they say "yeah bud" every time they landed a dig? Did they even report the incident to the Spanish police? If not, why not? You could land these 'Dublin' scumbags in jail for a long time before their court case is even heard in that part of the world. Time for revenge, maybe?

Although no. The whole episode sounds like the fantastical fairytale of yet another bunch of Dublin hating morons with massive inferiority complexes.

Just so people from Cork realise something - Dubliners don't recognise a perceived rivalry with Cork. It's Cork people that have a big chip on their shoulder over Dublin. Some of you Cork folk need a little self-esteem boost methinks.

Dubliners tunes going through my head at the moment..................:pac:

All this shows is that a group of Dublin nackers are better at fighting than a group of Cork nackers.

Noreen and Michael returned to their apartment afterwards, but Elva, Liam and Kathy went to JC’s Bar where a group of Dubliners were drinking. Liam was wearing a Cork jersey.

Ms O’Connor said Elva, Liam and Kathy left the pub after words were exchanged. "They said things like: ‘You should be ashamed for losing the match and wearing that jersey’, and ‘you should go away and hang yourselves’. So they walked away," she said.

"But the group followed them outside and they started running."

The gang caught them from behind and attacked them, she said. Ms Waugh was pinned to the ground and the gang tried to steal her rings.

Ms O’Connor said the gang threatened Elva that if she didn’t stop screaming, they would "put her into a coma".

Mr Manning was beaten about the head by at least three men. The two women suffered scratches, had clumps of hair pulled out and suffered black eyes.
